The United States has released another batch of its so-called UFO files as part of an ongoing declassification drive ordered by President Donald Trump. More than 50 previously classified videos and documents linked to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) — the official government term for UFOs — were made public by the Pentagon on Friday.
Newly Released Footage
Among the newly released material is footage captured by a US Coast Guard infrared sensor in April 2024, which appears to show an object flying near an aircraft over the south-eastern United States. Another clip, titled 'Syrian UAP instant acceleration', was recorded by an infrared sensor aboard a US military platform in 2021 before later being uploaded to a classified network in 2024, according to the Pentagon.
Unresolved Incidents
Military officials admit many of the incidents remain 'unresolved' and cannot be explained. Multiple investigations have been carried out by the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which is yet to find any evidence of extra-terrestrial activity. The newly released files include sightings of unexplained green orbs and flying discs near military bases, fueling public curiosity about UAPs.
These declassified documents are part of a broader transparency effort, with officials emphasizing that while some sightings have mundane explanations, others defy current scientific understanding. The Pentagon continues to encourage reporting of UAPs to improve situational awareness and national security.
